I visited Badshahi Mosque, Pakistan's (and South Asia's) second biggest mosque over the weekend. During peak prayer times, such as Eid, up to 100,000 people can pray together at once. In mid-summer, when the temperature soars between 40-50 deg C (100-120 deg F), the paved bricks are too hot to walk on, so visitors cross the courtyard on a narrow path of moistened mats.

The Badshahi Mosque (Urdu: بادشاھی مسجد) or the 'King's Mosque' in Lahore, commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 1671 and completed in 1673, is the second largest mosque in Pakistan and South Asia and the fifth largest mosque in the world. Epitomising the beauty, passion and grandeur of the Mughal era, it is Lahore's most famous landmark and a major tourist attraction.
Capable of accommodating 5,000 worshippers in its main prayer hall and a further 95,000 in its courtyard and porticoes, it remained the largest mosque in the world from 1673 to 1986 (a period of 313 years), when overtaken in size by the completion of the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad. Today, it remains the second largest mosque in Pakistan and South Asia and the fifth largest mosque in the world after the Masjid al-Haram (Grand Mosque) of Mecca, the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (Prophet's Mosque) in Medina, the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca and the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad.
To appreciate its large size, the four minarets of the Badshahi Mosque are 13.9 ft (4.2 m) taller than those of the Taj Mahal and the main platform of the Taj Mahal can fit inside the 278,784 sq ft (25,899.9 m2) courtyard of the Badshahi Mosque, which is the largest mosque courtyard in the world.
In 1993, the Government of Pakistan recommended the inclusion of the Badshahi Mosque as a World Heritage Site in UNESCO's World Heritage List, where it has been included in Pakistan's Tentative List for possible nomination to the World Heritage List by UNESCO

The city of Lahore has always been a great attraction for the world population due to its historical background and the Mughal and British architecture that surrounds the city. Especially, Badshahi mosque and Lahore fort offers wide range of jaw dropping architectures and paintings over the walls and ceilings that are not to be missed. We generally are over taken by the big domes, the gigantic prayer halls, ponds and strange rooms, but miss the real beauty inside!
I have been craving for them for a long time and finally got my chance to click them. Insha'Allah more to come!

I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreams
All my sand castles fall like the ashes of cigarettes
And every wave drags me to sea
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question, "Is everyone here make-believe?"

Badshahi mosque (Urdu: بادشاھی مسجد) is the largest mosque in Pakistan, capable of seating 50,000. It was built in 1674 during the reign of Emperor Aurenzeb, the last of great Mughal ruler. The mosque is attached to the Royal Fort. The front gates of the two buildings face each other across a courtyard. The facade of the prayer hall was inspired by the Friday Mosque in Delhi, but with octagonal minarets instead of the square ones at the Friday Mosque.
